Daughter of William Andrew Haun (1848-1931) and Ida A (Forsting) Haun (1862-1929)
Nancy was born and raised in Arroyo Grande, Ca. Her parents, William and Ida Ann Haun, and her grandparents, Charles and Naomi Forsting, were some of the founding citizens of Arroyo Grande. Her father and mother owned a farm at the foothills of the Arroyo Grande Mesa. They owned 80 acres of farmland and 80 acres of hill country up on the Mesa. Nancy helped her father plow the fields of the farm in her younger years. They used a team of horses to plow the fields.
Nancy met her future husband, Jesse Eberly Burns, in Arroyo Grande. She was married to Jesse Eberly Burns on 10 May 1908 in San Luis Obispo, California. In 1912 Jesse, Nancy and the first three of their four children (Beth, Thelma and Robert) were living at 1135 Marsh St., San Luis Obispo, Ca. Jesse was working as a barber at the "Palace Barber Shop" in San Luis Obispo, Ca. My father still has some of the brushes and cups that he used to shave men. Another employer was Pfleghaar and Anderson barber. I am not sure yet if they were the owner's of the Palace barber shop or not. The addresses that Jesse and Nancy lived at in San Luis Obispo were 546 Higuera St. and 1135 Marsh St. They also lived in a house on Santa Rosa St. and that is where their fourth child, my grandma Lillian, was born.
Nancy and Jesse spent most of their married life living in the Central Valley of California. Jesse worked for the Union Oil pipeline as a manager/supervisor. They lived at the Middle Water pump station and then at the Coalinga pump station and then at the McKittrick pump station. Jesse had a group of men that worked under him. This group could range anywhere from 5 to 20 men. Nancy ran the cookhouse that fed all of these men. Nancy fed them 3 meals a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. She made everything from scratch. This would include but not be limited to pies, cakes, breads etc... Not very much came from a box. These were hard working men that she had to feed and they ate hearty meals. This was very hard work for Jesse and Nancy. She once told me that if she knew then what she knew later on in life, she never would have worked as hard as she did.
Nancy and Jesse also lived in Taft, Ca. They lived in two homes in Taft. One was at 722 N. Lincoln St. and another was at 605 Fillmore St., Taft, Ca.
Nancy and Jesse retired and sold their house on Fillmore St. and bought a trailer. They traveled all over the western United States in that trailer. They went as far east as Yellowstone National Park in that wonderful trailer. After they finished traveling they eventually made their way back to Arroyo Grande. They put that trailer on my Dad's property in Arroyo Grande and built on additional room to it. My Dad is their grandson. Jesse enjoyed the rest of his days there and passed away about 6 months after I was born and was laid to rest in Arroyo Grande. Jesse had accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior a few years before he passed away. Nancy was a believer in Jesus Christ herself.
Nancy enjoyed her elderly years in that wonderful trailer and I enjoyed spending lots of time with my great grandmother. She would take care of my siblings and me from time to time. She would drive my older brother and me around in her VW bug car. I still remember the day that she had to sell her car because she could no longer drive. Nancy enjoyed watching "Hee Haw" and "The Lawrence Welk Show" on television and I would often sit and watch these shows with her. Every Christmas, as part of her gift to the families, Nancy would shell and hull walnuts to be used for baking. This was a great gift to each family she did it for! I remember when I would bake something that required walnuts that all I had to do was look in the freezer and there they would be. All I would have to do was chop the walnuts. My mother and I always really appreciated those walnuts! Also, anytime she cooked something for Thanksgiving or Christmas, we would always want her to make her delicious scalloped potatoes! Yummy!
Nancy and Jesse were deeply loved by all of their family and are sorely missed. We know that we will see them again someday.
Nancy was laid to rest next to Jesse.
Nancy and Jesse had four children: Jessie Elizabeth Burns-Smith (Frank), Thelma Belle Burns-Mayhall (Charles), Robert Ormond Burns (Lucille) and my grandmother Lillian Mae Burns-Duffin (Tommie).
Nancy's 3rd great grandmother was Hannah Boone Stewart Pennington, the sister of Daniel Boone and the wife of John Stewart. Daniel Boone was Nancy's 4th great uncle.
